In a January long ago, I sent out the first “Tip of the Week”.
One of the benefits of doing the same thing over and over again for a long time is this. You begin to develop a reputation. Back when I started doing this, I had to come up with my own tips.
These days, people often email me with tips. I often share those tips with everyone else.
Over the break, one reader, Mary S. Sent this email to me.
Happy New Year! Over my holiday break I was checking into some new language learning resources. I looked at Dreaming Spanish (that you recommended) but also found a couple other content creators that I think you’ll enjoy.
Mary then linked the following video:
If you are learning a new language, I suggest you check this video out.
In the video, a young woman from France explains how she taught herself Norwegian. She put in a lot of hard work. She is now fluent. After a brief opening in Norwegian, she explains her process in English.
I have used many of the tips she shares in this video. From experience, I can tell you, they work.
If you are trying to learn a new language in 2024, start by watching the video. Then, start and hold on tight.
Good luck!
